Convert string from special character

Question

I am getting info using social framework and getting facebook info, when i get username in another language i.e Denis then it give me like "\U00e6\U00f8\U00e5", how to convert this string to readable string i.e Denis?

If this is just `NSLog()` output, then leave it as-is. It's just escaped when printed - the string contains the correct Unicode characters. — , Sep 07 '13 at 06:15
@H2CO3 i have to use this username in creating profile,So i can not ignore this — Harin, Sep 07 '13 at 06:16
So is it just `NSLog()` output, after all? Then you **can** ignore it. — , Sep 07 '13 at 06:19
I just check the response in NSLog(),And it's display what I said.What actual I want,is to use that response to show in My Profile SignUp View which i create.So how I can convert it.? — Harin, Sep 07 '13 at 06:22
You don't need to convert it. Again, it's escaped when logged, but the string itself contains the appropriate characters. — , Sep 07 '13 at 06:22

@H2CO3 : i already try ,But it's Display in my View's textlable like : \U00e6\U00f8\U00e5 .. — Harin, Sep 07 '13 at 06:27
@Harin: `"\U00e6\U00f8\U00e5"` is `"æøå"`, is this your real output? - You could get better help if you show your code: How do you get the string? How do you print the string? — Martin R, Sep 07 '13 at 07:59

I think these chracters are Unicode chracters, you can try something like this to convert them to UTF-8

Try with following code

Your string that you got,

NSString *myStr = @".....;

And use this code,

const wchar_t *myResulr = (const wchar_t*)[myStr cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF16StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"\n str2 = %S",myResulr);

This also may be Helpful in your case.

`NSUTF16StringEncoding` gives a sequence of `unichar`, which is 16-bit, but `wchar_t` is 32-bit, so this cannot work. - And note that the function `CFStringTokenizerCopyBestStringLanguage()` from your link guesses the *language*, not the *encoding*. – Martin R Sep 07 '13 at 07:48

Try this

NSString *str = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"\u00e6\u00f8\u00e5"];
NSLog(@"%@", str);

Try:

NSString *str = @"\U00e6\U00f8\U00e5";

NSString *string = [NSString stringWithCString:[str UTF8String]  
                        encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

NSLog(@"string: %@", string);

Why should it help to convert the NSString to UTF-8 and back to NSString? That gives exactly the original string. – Martin R Sep 07 '13 at 07:51
